But manga is also one of the few places you can encounter *spoken* Japanese in a written form.
Of course I definitely wouldn`t recommend starting there, but if you`re not in Japan they could be used as a good way to see how people really use the language. (In contrast to textbook-talk, which isn`t.) You do need enough background though for it to make any sense - and if you are surprised that manga uses non-textbook-style Japanese.... You don`t.
